The Farm Bill: What's for Dinner? September 11, 2024

The food you see at the grocery store or farmers market is heavily influenced by the Farm Bill. This legislation keeps millions fed, funds land and water conservation, crop subsidies, crop insurance, research, and much more. While historically bipartisan, this year’s Farm Bill is falling victim to the polarization endemic to our politics today. Yet many farmers, including small, organic, and diversified farms cannot access benefits the Farm Bill provides.
